Abstract

"Pitt, Hastings, and Thurlow sit at a circular dinner-table on which is the King's head in a large dish. The dish is ornamented with a crown and the words 'Mal. y . Pense'. Pitt (left) sits in profile to the right cutting off a piece of the tongue with a knife and fork. Thurlow, in his Chancellor's wig and gown, faces him, using two large spoons greedily (cf. BMSat 7166), he is taking brains from a hole in the King's forehead. Hastings, in oriental dress, sits between them gouging out an eye with a spoon and fork. Besides Pitt is a sauce-boat inscribed 'Sauce', beside Thurlow a bottle inscribed 'Vinegar'."--British Museum online catalogue.
